Depending on how old it is, you'll need to wake up in the night to bottle feed it and stimulate its backside to allow it to defecated/urinate (newly born kittens do not do this on their own). Make sure you bottle feed with special kitten formula. You should probably weigh it daily as well to make sure it's eating enough. Bottle feeding is recommended as often as every 2 hours, but if the little guy is a little older it every 4 hours or something might be enough.

Newborns also cannot maintain body heat, so you'll want it near a heat pad covered by a blanket whenever possible. There are special incubators for people who do this regularly, but a constant heat source should do alright.

Newborn kittens are a huge hassle so most shelters will euthanize them.
